Antonio Banderas Says "Puss in Boots 2" is Already Being Made

DreamWorks Animation's "Puss in Boots" spin-off hit theaters in 2011 and went on to gross $555 million globally on a budget of $130 million. But despite the success, the studio hasn't been eager to get a sequel into development.

But now, while promoting "The Expendables 3," Antonio Bandera revealed that "Puss in Boots 2" is happening. "We started the new one four days ago," he said. "[The first film] did incredibly well with audiences and critics, all around the world, and the character is going to keep going. This character was born almost 12 years ago. We have had a lot of fun with him, and it seems that audiences [did] too. So, we're doing another one."

The actor went on to talk about the sequel's plot. "We take Puss to a completely different land which is very exotic," he explained. "When Chris Miller, the director, said, 'I don't want Puss to happen in the same universe as the Shrek movies visually, I want to do a spaghetti western,' he is, in this case, trying to do an adventure movie so we're taking him to a very exotic locale."
